List comprehension + lambdas - strange behaviour
Hello. I found this strange behaviour of lambdas, closures and list comprehensions: funs = [lambda: x for x in range(5)] [f() for f in funs] [4, 4, 4, 4, 4] Of course I was expecting the list [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] as the result. The 'x' was bound to the final value of 'range(5)' expression for ALL defined... 7 May 2010 17:50

Windows - select.select, timeout and KeyboardInterrupt
From a quick experiment, it seems that select.select with a timeout doesn't react to a keyboard interrupt until the timeout expires. Specifically, if I do s = socket.socket() select.select([s], [], [], 30) and then press Ctrl-C, Python waits for the 30 seconds before raising KeyboardInterrupt. Is this a kn... 9 May 2010 13:12

crash in Py_EnterRecursiveCall
Hello, I have embedded Python into and extended it with functionality from a graphical tool I use. One of the things it allows me to do is to export Python objects to a simple scripting language ("ascanf"), and call them as if they were native functions. I have the following situation in which I get a systemat... 6 May 2010 08:32

ctypes:Multiple library access problem
Hi everyone, in my script I need to execute multiple separated loading of the same dll library, in order to handle the internal variables with different threads.

recursive converting object to string which hasn't __str__ or/and__repr__
Hi, Everybody knows class's __str__ and __repr__ can be used to get readable user representation of an object. But for simple classes or debug aims it is tediously to code these methods. And Python has very powerful reflection. I believe that somebody has already written such library with this method.... 7 May 2010 23:21
